Article Synopsis
  • The aquatic γ-proteobacterium can form two types of biofilms: a floating pellicle at the air-liquid interface and a solid surface-associated biofilm (SSA-biofilm).
  • The Bpf system, which is similar to the Lap system, is essential for the formation of the pellicle biofilm but is not necessary for SSA-biofilm formation, highlighting its unique role.
  • BpfD, a protein involved in pellicle formation, binds c-di-GMP and interacts with other proteins like PdgA and CheY3, suggesting that biofilm development is regulated by a complex c-di-GMP signaling network.

Introduction: Anesthesiologists play an important role in the management of labor and delivery during acute malaria infection. The peripartum anesthesia considerations for such cases remain unclear.

Findings: Important peripartum considerations include the severity of thrombocytopenia and coagulopathy, hemodynamic status and cardiac disease, and the likelihood of central nervous system (CNS) involvement.

Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is a severe complication of hemodialysis (HD) with a significant impact on morbidity and mortality. In this study, we used a wearable device for the continuous monitoring of hemodynamic vitals to detect hemodynamic changes during HD and attempted to identify IDH. End-stage kidney disease patients were continuously monitored 15 min before starting the session and until 15 min after completion of the session, measuring heart rate (HR), noninvasive cuffless systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP), stroke volume (SV), cardiac output (CO), and systemic vascular resistance (SVR).

Background: Recent technological developments enable big data-driven insights on diurnal changes. This study aimed to describe the trajectory of multiple and advanced parameters using a medical-grade wearable remote patient monitor.

Methods: Parameters were monitored for 24 h in 256 ambulatory participants who kept living their normal life.
